Go SDK Reference

View as Markdown

The Daytona Go SDK provides a powerful interface for programmatically interacting with Daytona Sandboxes.

Installation

Install the Daytona Go SDK using go get:

Terminal window
go get github.com/daytonaio/daytona/libs/sdk-go

Getting Started

Create a Sandbox

Create a Daytona Sandbox to run your code securely in an isolated environment. The following snippet is an example “Hello World” program that runs securely inside a Daytona Sandbox.

package main


import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "log"


  "github.com/daytonaio/daytona/libs/sdk-go/pkg/daytona"
)


func main() {
  // Initialize the SDK (uses environment variables by default)
  client, err := daytona.NewClient()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }


  // Create a new sandbox
  sandbox, err := client.Create(context.Background(), nil)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }


  // Execute a command
  response, err := sandbox.Process.ExecuteCommand(context.Background(), "echo 'Hello, World!'")
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
  fmt.Println(response.Result)
}

Configuration

The Daytona SDK can be configured using environment variables or by passing options to the constructor:

package main


import (
  "github.com/daytonaio/daytona/libs/sdk-go/pkg/daytona"
  "github.com/daytonaio/daytona/libs/sdk-go/pkg/types"
)


func main() {
  // Using environment variables (DAYTONA_API_KEY, DAYTONA_API_URL, DAYTONA_TARGET)
  client, _ := daytona.NewClient()


  // Using explicit configuration
  config := &types.DaytonaConfig{
    APIKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    APIUrl: "https://app.daytona.io/api",
    Target: "us",
  }
  client, _ = daytona.NewClientWithConfig(config)
}
